WTF?! The Calgary Flames will never cease to amaze me. After struggling to string 40 minutes of good hockey together throughout the whole month of November, they come out flying tonight and beat the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks 7-2. The Flames played with a level of skill that seemed to be lacking in their [...]
The Calgary Flames hosted the Phoenix Coyotes tonight, and despite a solid first period, they couldn’t score often enough to win the game.

The good news is that the Flames are safe. No records were set tonight. In case you were wondering, the most goals by one NHL team in one period is 9. That feat was accomplished by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2nd period on March 19, 1981 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The good news [...]

The Sharks are coming off a 6-1 win in Edmonton last night, and will be gunning for their 3rd consecutive win. The Flames will be looking to extend their winning streak [...]
So this may sound like deja vu, but here it is. “The top line for the Calgary Flames silenced their critics with an offensive outburst tonight at the Saddledome.

So I was going out to watch the game with a friend tonight, and wanted to get a jump on my game summary blog post. I uploaded a pic, and started with this lead-in line (I thought it would be a good indication of what would come tonight): “The top line for the Calgary Flames [...]
